75 cl botle at hevig hoekske.splitted with friends . i was a bit dissapointed about this one. its a good beer, but thats it. there’s nothing extra ( to me). this is just what a stout should taste like, but has nothing that makes you wanna have this exact one.. this would all be ok, if where not that it is such a high priced bottle ( here in europe that is . ) great artwork, funny text, and a ’good’ taste is what you get. its a cool bottle to enjoy with friends ( in this bar, you get 5 euros discount if you paint your face black metal style and order this ) due to the things around it, but for the taste, its just not worth it ( to me ). the other persons i drank it with enjoyd this more than a black damnation I-IV or even a hel en verdoemenis, this is now there favourite stout. donno, maybe i didsnt taste something they did, but i stick with my opinion, good, not great.

750mL bottle, sent from xpimptastikx (thanks Michael), pours black with a big light brown / tan head. Aroma of dry chocolate cake, dry powdered cocoa, yeast, oats, and light roasted malt. Flavour of chocolate cake, roasted malt, some bitterness, yeast and a dry finish. Quite a bit drier and (obviously) drier than the regular Black Metal, taking away any cloying sweetness. Full-bodied, yeasty, and unsweetened chocolatey throughout. Delicious.

Out of a 750. Nose is spice and pepper with some chocolate and roasted malt. Black with beautiful big brown head. I lose the plot on this beer in the taste. Disjointed with mostly yeast funk and roast, with spice that doesn’t blend in. Big mouthfeel is too over the top.

Capped 750 from Bine and Vine. Pours very black with a big creamy dark tan head. Aroma is chocolate with some mixed hop - pepper is the only thing I’m certain of. It has a lot of body. Flavor is a little ashy, with a fair amount of chocolate and a lot of burnt malt. The pepper is very noticeable, and there seems to be something in the earthy way. It’s a very nice drink. Finishing not quite dry - but the pepper keeps it from coming over as sweet. Ends with mild pepper and chocolate with that persistent little earthiness.

Bottle. Pours with a black body with a massive tan head. Aromas are roasty, smokey, nutty, marcona almonds, chocolate, dark fruits, medium phenolic notes. Flavors are roasty, bready, toasted malt, quite dry for a big RIS, dates, raisins, marcona almonds, ashy, currants, tobacco and very dark bakers chocolate. Medium to fuller bodied yet dry. Medium carbonation. Mild alcohol warmth. I think I prefer the original version.
